I rode a fair amount of Meerendal, Hillcrest and Contermans on the weekend and I think we're in for some pain :-)

 

Bring it!

 

Being from Johannesburg, I assume that you are not a member of Tygerberg MTB Club. If so, you should not have been on Hillcrest. That is clearly marked as a members only trail.

That is dedication to one's craft. I bet not one of us Capie's is a member of this Spruit thing we all read about! :)

Surely all of us can afford the membership for El Spruito, but none of us qualify.

Spruit membership is by invatation only, but you are in luck, YOU ARE INVITED!!  Weekly spruit rides will flatten those pesky little hills you guys have

The toxic chemicals are not that bad, besides we have pesky runners and walkers on the trail, it will feel just like Table Mountain

moving on to a more serious question,  WILL THERE BE BEER AT THE FINISH?

 

I have already prepped my missus. She will be at the finish with a funnel and beer so she can pour the amber nectar into my horizontal body :clap:

Did you not see that the broom-wagon and the ambulance at the end are stocked and ready to go?

Very dissapointed that I somehow missed this on the callender and seems I will not be able to take part. This would have been the perfect build up to the Tankwa trek in 3 weeks.

 

No late entries I suppose?

Apologies if this has already been discussed, but am i correct in understanding that the Ultra will be going up Dorsberg (Meerendal) like the Epic prologue guys did last year - i.e. via the single track and not via the normal jeep track route up?

Yeah late entries for sure. I am doing the ultra. Also a training ride for Tankwa. Need to get up to speed and ready to enjoy Ceres for 3 days. This should be a good test. I will be on a black Bulls bike.

Also doing Tankwa but after been in the pain cave for a loooooong 7:30 at ATTA decided on doing the 70km not in the mood for another long day (& the wife wont be to happy if im gone the whole day again:)
